Common questions
No for the Office Pro pack: switching on a PC and using a mouse is enough. Advanced Excel needs the basics (SUM, average, filters). The secretarial path prefers basic computer skills without requiring an expert level.
The Office pack (90 h) trains the tools. The secretarial path (180 h + optional internship) adds the job: reception, communication, calendar, filing, labour law, a job simulation. You can start with the pack, then continue.
Yes. Office pack: 3 months at 2.5 h / week or 12 intensive days. Excel: 1 evening month or 5 days. Word Pro: 1 evening month or 4 days. Hours and deliverables stay the same.
A secretariat that holds on its own, even on Monday morning.
